1795 (ca.), Adèle Romany, Portrait of an Artist -- National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington)
From the museum label: The woman in this portrait is traditionally identified as "Mademoiselle Halbou," who may be related to French printmaker Louis Michel Halbou (1730-1809). The composition features items suggesting that she, too, is an artist, such as the stylus in her hand and folio of papers, presumably sketches. Sheets of music may allude to her talent in that art form as well.
